£36,000 2yo; first foal; dam point and useful 2m hurdle/3m chase winner, half-sister to winners Glencove Marina (bumper/smart 2m-2m6f hurdle/chase), Kind Of Easy (bumper/2m5f chase) and Commodore Barry (2m4f-3m hurdle/chase); has an appealing pedigree and her yard wins plenty of bumpers.

Runner-up on Plumpton debut last month and he confirmed that promise when making all to land the odds at Market Rasen (2m, good); has penalty in this deeper race but he still looked inexperienced last time and is open to more progress; key player.

Placed in a point bumper but it's been a thoroughly underwhelming start under rules for her respected yard; wind surgery and a tongue-tie may help matters.

Now 9lb lower than when going close over hurdles at Plumpton (2m, soft) in January but was safely held in both chases this spring (2m3f/2m), and cheekpieces didn't appear to help much when used once previously.

0-7 over hurdles though reaching the frame on three starts at Plumpton this year, all over 2m; made an underwhelming switch to fences last month at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) trailing in last of the five finishers; needs to raise her game.

Flat bred; tongue tied for both races; runner-up at Newbury (soft) and a line through the third gives her the beating of stablemate Queen's Theatre; her Fontwell run on good ground was rather flat but the front two are useful; can be given another chance.

Tongue tied for all her bumpers; failed to kick on in two good-ground ones after her debut second on soft at Newbury; has been off for 12 months and, with the stable also running Kamille Au Kanada, the market should tell a tale.
